iChat AV: PULLING SOMEONE INTO A PRIVATE CHAT

If you've got a group chat going, and you want to pull someone aside into a private chat (so you can make fun of someone else in the chat), make sure you have the Participant pane open by going under the View menu and choosing Show Chat Participants. Then just double-click on their name in the list and they'll be invited to a private chat outside the current chat. You can also double-click on their name in the Buddy List to invite them to a private chat.
